Invoice Requirements for Oman (Cross-Border)

Oman applies 5% VAT and is rolling out the Fawtara e-invoicing system on a Peppol 5-corner model, phased from August 2026 — large taxpayers first, all VAT-registered businesses by 2027.

E-invoicing: Mandatory VAT 5% Complexity: Medium

Oman introduced VAT at 5% in April 2021, administered by the Oman Tax Authority (OTA), and is now rolling out mandatory e-invoicing under the national Fawtara programme on a decentralised Peppol 5-corner model. Go-live is phased: around 100 large VAT-registered companies from August 2026, all large taxpayers from February 2027, and the remaining VAT-registered businesses (including SMEs) by August 2027, with government bodies following. Invoices must be structured (XML or PDF/A-3) and exchanged in real time through accredited access providers; exempt and zero-rated supplies must still be issued electronically with the correct codes. A VATIN is required, amounts are shown in Omani rials for domestic supplies, and records are kept for at least 10 years (15 for real estate).
